Thanks so much for your suggestions, I have a number of Florida condo mango trees, but none of the state-side nurseries carry Gouveia or Rapoza, which from descriptions on the Internet seem like particularly outstanding mango varieties. I contacted the eBay store, Suncatchers of Hilo, who carries the Mamaki teas, and he referred me to Plant It Hawaii. Plant it Hawaii referred me to Royal Palm Enterprises. I’m trying to contact them now.
I would be happy with buying or swapping scion wood for Gouveia, which probably isn’t still under patent, if they were still dormant and graftable. I’ve had good luck grafting apple trees, and a few stone fruit. However, your mangos probably are blooming now, like mine. The regulations for shipping leafless scion wood shouldn’t be too different from shipping dormant plumeria sticks. But I could be wrong.
The link below has an interesting video on grafting mangos, toward the bottom of the page. |
